408.) when we have over 50 students at our first FCA of the year! {For those who don’t know, FCA is Fellowship of Christian Athletes, only you don’t have to be an athlete to join (or else I wouldn’t be in it, ha). It’s basically a student-run school club for believers; ours meets before school every Monday morning for prayer, every Thursday morning for a speaker or music or fellowship or whatever we feel called to do that week. I’m a co-president this year. It’s been so amazing to see all that God has done, and to do ministry with my fellow officers!}
